Well, I have a 7D, so its not quite as specialized and I pull it out all the time. Its a nice wide lens. When I go full frame, that'll be the test. I expect this lens to keep its value, so if it is too wide for me (or I have little use for it) I may sell it, but I expect that I will enjoy it then too.

I had the 14 for a couple of years, had fun with it on FF, for the shots you need as wide as possible, it's a great choice.. color rendition is some of the best I've seen from Canon. But I will totally recommend what I traded it for instead, the TS 17 L.. @ thought the converging lines of the 14 made it very limited, point it up or down and you'll see... I initially thought the 17 was too specialized, but nothing can be further from the truth, it is extremely easy to use, an endless list of creative possibilities, and crazy IQ. It might be half as fast at f4 and no filters or AF or weathersealing, but that doesn't matter when you start using it. The 14 is weathersealed, but you still can't use it in the rain, that front element is a magnet for droplets.

I am thinking about selling my 16-35 II to get the 14 II. I queried Aperture and 90% of my shots with the 16-35 were at 16 on my 5DmkII. I have also read that the 14 will have less distortion at the edges than the 16-35 which is something that always bothered me about the 16-35.Anyone else make the choice between the 14 and the 16-35?

IMO, if you are using the 16-35mm to shoot landscapes, then you do not want to replace it with the 14mm.

I have the 14mm f/2.8 Mark I. It is a different beast than other ultra-wide angle lenses, as it is rectilinear: it forces straight lines to remain straight. However, due to the extreme wide angle, parallel lines seem to merge off in the distance, and things off in the distance become very small. It is great for making an interior seem huge (real estate agents use for that purpose!) or getting up close to something to distort the perspective. Also, since the 14mm has a convex lens, you cannot put a filter on it.
